We weave stories between the stars.
People once believed the Milky Way was the hunting ground of a gray grizzly. The sky was alive.
Like companions around a campfire, we create stories through strategy and design. Together we watch as embers rise from tiny sparks; soon the sky is filled with new constellations.
We are not conventional. Creative Soapbox is the studio of Justin Kuntz with a distributed collective of designers, strategists, storytellers, makers, innovators and engineers. We purpose-build a team to meet your project needs. Over the years we have work with small startups to large enterprise applications.
Our Values
We make paths that diverge at the pass and converge at the river.
Values are the glue that bind us. Success is measured by the extent to which we live up to our values.
Agility
Free from the layers of bureaucracy, so concepts and feedback aren't lost in translation. We are an intentionally small studio with big ideas and a broad skill set. We deliver quality, iterate and pivot quickly, while focusing on personal interactions.
Community
The pride to speak, the dignity to listen. A community is created through the stories, resources, and knowledge we share. We give and take (criticism, praise, apologies, knowledge, and of course, cups of coffee and doughnuts).
Confidence
Something we keep in our back pocket, but we never look at. We honor our efforts, know when tcall a product finished,adapt to situations and still keep our values in check. We’re never too proud to try something new and fail.
Craft
Art raises questions, craft answers them. Craft is a combination of curiosity and experience with principles sprinkled on top. A craft is never totally mastered, it drives us to always be learning and sharing to become masters.
Curiosity
Duct tape, cardboard, a motherboard and a mischievous giggle. Boredom is a failure of one’s capacity to be curious. We break boredom with karate chops and live on the outer fringe of modern design and technological best practices.
Responsibility
Grit and a handshake. We are accountable to each other and gather strength through trust. We adapt to new environments and meet expectations. We want people to trust and depend on us and take pride in owning up to our actions.
Why a soapbox?
A soapbox is a platform we can stand on and be heard.
It’s a perch from which the news is decried and where the community gathers. There’s also clever pun in the word “platform” as it applies to apps, browsers, and programs. It’s the foundation for where things get started.
Let's build your soapbox.
We can work with your existing team or scale to become your team.
